Officially known as Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities, the 10th of June constitutes our national holiday here in Portugal. This date commemorates the death of Luís de Camões, a significant figure our national literature, on 10 June 1580. Camões is famous for his work on “Os Lusíadas”, the national epic poem of Portugal that celebrates the nation’s successes and rich history. The Lusiads is an epic poem that depicts the Portuguese achievements in world explorations in the Golden era. Portugal played an key role in the discovery of the new world during the 16th century and their accomplishments have definitely put this European country on the map. Having that in mind, to all Portuguese people around the world: Happy Portugal Day!

Belmonte, Portugal

The ruins of Tower Centum Cellas or "Tower of St. Cornelius," are located in a particularly fertile area and near the confluence of the Ribeira de Gaia with the Zêzere River. The monument is one of the most iconic, but at the same time the most enigmatic of all assigned to the Roman presence in Beira Interior.
Over time, many different theories concerning its real primitive functionality were covered. Therefore it has been proposed to be, from a temple to a prison, through a praetorium (core of a Roman camp), a mansio (change of season), mutatio (hostel for rest of travelers), Roman uilla, among many other alternatives.

O monumento representa um dos mais emblemáticos, mas ao mesmo tempo dos mais enigmáticos de todos os atribuídos à presença romana na Beira Interior.
Ao longo do tempo foram contempladas as mais diversas teorias respeitantes à sua real funcionalidade primitiva Assim propoem-se, desde templo, a prisão, passando por um praetorium (núcleo de um acampamento romano), a um mansio (estação de muda), mutatio (albergaria para descanso dos viajantes), uilla romana, entre muitas outras alternativas.
